Bank Alarm Triggers Night Panic in Uttar Pradesh; Police Discover All Is Well, Rats Suspected

The Shahabad branch of Aryavart Bank, a regional rural bank sponsored by Bank of India, experienced an incident last night when the theft alarm went off at around 1.30 am. The nearby police station quickly responded, sending a large force to the bank.

However, upon arrival, they found nothing amiss after thoroughly inspecting the premises. Despite the lack of evidence of attempted theft, the bank’s staff suspects that rats may have triggered the motion sensors, causing the alarm to go off.

Branch manager Nitish Kurkrari explained that sometimes rats can activate motion sensors and inadvertently set off the alarm, leading to a false scare. Following the thorough inspection, the police and bank staff confirmed that everything was in order, and there was no problem at the bank.

Visuals from the scene showed the presence of several police SUVs at the bank. The incident has led to speculation about the possibility of animals inadvertently triggering security systems, prompting the need for further investigation and preventive measures.
